The win over the Hoyas was the Tar Heels’ 13th in a row, the
longest win streak in program history. The streak includes
last year's 4-0 run to win the 2013 NCAA championship and the 9-0
start this year. The 2002 squad won 12 contests in a
row to set the previous mark.

Carolina got 10 of its 18 goals from freshmen. The Tar Heels
got two goals and two assists each from Molly Hendrick and Aly
Messinger and three goals from Sydney Holman. Abbey Friend,
Maggie Bill and Taylor George tallied two goals and one assist
apiece. Carly Reed also scored twice. Senior All-America
defender scored her first career goal on a free position shot for
the Tar Heels, Devin Markison and Maggie Auslander each
scored once, and Sam McGee added an assist.

Georgetown was led by two goals each from Meghan Farrell, Reilly
Woodman, Corinne Etchison and Kelyn Freedman. Annie Heagerty added
a goal and an assist and Colleen Lovett had two assists.

Megan Ward (8-0) and Caylee Waters split time in goal for
Carolina. Ward made six saves and allowed six goals in the
first half, and Waters made six saves while allowing five goals in
the second period. Three Hoyas split time in the cage with
Barb Black starting the game, allowing six goals and taking the
loss.

In the first half, the Tar Heels scored 11 goals, none of which
came from Friend, Messinger or George. Nine of the first-half
goals came from freshmen, including three from Holman, two from
Hendrick and two from Reed. It was 11-6 Carolina at the
break.

UNC scored the first six goals of the second half to build a
commanding, 17-6 lead with 21:53 left in the game. The Hoyas
scored four goals in a row in the final 4:25 to make the final
score 18-11.

Carolina will return to action next Saturday March 22 at Boston
